Electric-Drive Vehicles: Moving Into the Future
The New York Power Authority has helped make New York State a pacesetter in electric-drive and clean transportation technologies. The programs and partnerships we're helping to establish help improve air quality and reduce dependence on foreign oil.
| NYPA is helping introduce the next generation of clean-fueled vehicle-- the Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV). |
The Empire State's aggressive efforts to promote electric transportation include rigorous vehicle emission standards,tax incentives and Clean Water/Clean Air Bond Act funding for electric-drive vehicles (all electric and hybrid electric) and other clean-fueled vehicles in mass transit and government fleets. In addition, New York State's Executive Order No. 111 directs that state agency fleets convert entirely to clean-fueled vehicles by 2010.
The Power Authority is the nation’s largest supplier of electricity for mass transit, powering the subway and commuter trains of metropolitan New York. Today, NYPA is playing a significant role in these efforts to help New York State achieve a cleaner, greener future.
This vision stretches beyond New York’s borders, as well. The New York Power Authority is an active member of the Electric Drive Transportation Association (EDTA), an international consortium of more than 100 energy producers, automotive manufacturers and their suppliers, state and local governments and others working to promote electric transportation.
